Unprinted Lyric Archive

I'm sure you've noticed that unlike many bands, Enuff Z'Nuff always prints the song lyrics in their liner notes, with Peach Fuzz being the only exception, along with cover songs and bonus tracks. If you don't know what they're saying and would like to in these songs, well this is the page for you. Follow this link for Peach Fuzz lyrics, and click this link for the lyrics to Live. Stay here for the other unprinted lyrics. These are written from what I could understand and aren't note perfect. If you see a mistake that you know the solution to, let me know and I'll fix it.

Fingertips (Donnie Vie)

Another town, another stage, another book, I turn the page.
In a world of restlessness and rage,
I hope reality don't get the best of me.

When there's love at your fingertips,
And the whole world wants to kiss your lips.
When there's love, when there's love at your fingertips,
The magic goes away.

Another heart that had to break, another hook caught in the lake.
Is it all for something or someone's sake?
Why does reality have such a hold on me?

Tears Of A Clown (Cosby, Robinson, Wonder)

Now if there's a smile on my face, it's only there trying to fool the public.
But when it comes down to fooling you, now honey that's quite a different subject.
Well don't let my glad expressions give you the wrong impression,
I'm sadder than sad, and I'm hurting so bad.
Now there's some sad things known to man, but ain't too much sadder than...

The tears of a clown,
When there's no one around.

Now if I appear to be carefree, it's only to camouflage my sadness.
In order to shield my pride I try to cover up with a show of gladness.
Well don't let my show convince you that I've been happy since you
Decided to go, now I'm needing you so.

You Got A Hold Of Me (aka The Valentine's Song) (Donnie Vie)

It's Valentine's Day once again, though some were bad and some were good.
I do believe that's #10, to do again I surely would.
'Cause girl you know that I'm your man, and your man I'll always be, but...

Baby you got a hold of me.

I know you left a couple times, and I walked out a time or two.
Our face has bared a few more lines, there's no control of what we do.
But so far no one has gone mad, I don't think we're gonna be, 'cause...

Repeat Chorus.

Love, sweet love, I'm so afraid of, that the stars above aren't close enough
To reach out and to touch. So will you finally marry me?
And we could have ourselves a baby, and raise ourselves a family.
'Cause girl you know that I'm your man, and I'm always gonna be, but...

(You Got To) Hide Your Love Away (Lennon, McCartney)

Here I stand head in hand, turn my face to the wall.
If she's gone I can't go on, feeling two foot small.
Everywhere people stare, each and every day.
I can see them laugh at me, and I hear them say...

Hey, you've got to hide your love away!
Hey, you've got to hide your love away!

How could I even try? I can never win.
Hearing them, seeing them, in the state I'm in.
How could she say to me, "Love will find a way?"
Gather round all you clowns, let me hear you say...

Bang On (Vie, Z'Nuff)

Kick it!

Well everybody seen you been with me,
About a half an hour ago.
Never guess, man, that I would see,
Little girl doing a one man show.
I don't know what she had,
The beat was just so big and bad.
Drive me mad!

Bang on, on the drum,
Is all she gotta say.
Bang on, don't you come,
Make it last all day.
Please, please, not over now,
So much left to play.
Bang on, on the drum,
Bang on, don't you come.
Bang on, on the drum,
Never go away.

Bare-handed, didn't use a stick.
It'll chop the wrong way.
So happy it could make you sick.
Yeah, but sometimes that's okay.
The groove was hard and slow,
And every now and then would grow.
Oh no!

Video Man (Vie, Z'Nuff)

Turn it on, yeah turn it up, yeah here he comes again,
Keep collecting all your pin-up magazines.
They've just created your new man of men,
He's the hot new favorite flavor on the scene.
It's survival of the billboard of the in thing,
Keep the title #1 on MTV.

Video Man, can't stop movin,
Video Man, can't stop groovin.
Video Man, keep me singing,
Video Man, keep me swinging.
Video Man, every station,
Video Man, 'cross the nation.

Girls all hangin' on him, picks a lucky one,
In fact he's had more than the normal guy has seen.
Rollin' round the world, man he's having fun,
What an entertaining in demand machine!
Here's what you've presented as your new desired one,
It's what all the guys will soon all try to be.

Jealous Guy (John Lennon)

I was dreaming of the past, and my heart was beating fast.
I began to lose control, I began to lose control.

Oh I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry that I made you cry.
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you, I'm just a jealous guy.

I was feeling insecure, you might not love me anymore.
I was shivering inside, I was shivering inside.

Repeat Chorus.

I was trying to catch your eye, I thought that you were trying to hide.
I was swallowing my pain, ooh I was swallowing my pain!

For You Girl (Vie, Z'Nuff)

My lonliness and my hominess is for you girl.
The times I've cried and the times I've died are for you girl.
My worst fears and my first tears are for you girl.
My cold shakes and my heartaches are for you girl.
My place inside where I run and hide is for you girl.
The drugs I take and the hearts I break are for you girl.
My weakness, such a freakness, all for you girl.
I now cope with my last hope just for you girl.

My deep pride I can unwind 'cause of you girl.
My darkness I leave this mess here for you girl.
Carry me to the light, carry me to the light...

I Won't Let You Go (Vie, Z'Nuff)

Here go those words again, you meant my love, you said my friend.
Still I know better now, I'm getting back at you somehow.
I don't know, but I do love you so. What do I do, when I hate loving you?

Here we are at the top of the slide, going down for a hell of a ride.
Make me feel all screwed up inside, I won't let you...

You're mind's all out of whack, I'm giving more than I get back.
Those tears fall from your eyes, they're never real, the tears are lies.
I don't mind, 'cause love is always blind. I've gotta say, it hasn't gone away.

Repeat Chorus.

Give you love and you take it away, then you say all the things that you say.
It's unknown any game that we play, I won't let you go.

Yeah here we go again, we're heart to heart, and end to end.
I'm never giving in, I know I'm right and I always win.
But it's true, that you belong to you. Oh can't you see that I belong to me?

Social Disease (Vie, Z'Nuff)

Well I used to take a woman, baby take a woman,
And wrap her right around my finger.
Man I was a sleazebag, cheezy little wheezbag.
But it's harder than it looks, harder than it feels,
Yeah, when it gets right through to you.
Early in the mornin' you can feel this baby pump,
It's gonna flood on through ya.

I've got, I've got the social,
I've got, I've got the social disease.

She's a real mean lady, hootchie coochie baby,
She has such an ego.
Tearin' up the town with the talk of goin' down,
She tells me, "Hey baby, why don't we go?"
I said, "Come on pretty baby, c'mon spread 'em wide.
Yeah, I'm gonna get some inside of ya!"
Early in the mornin' you can feel this baby pumpin'.
It's gonna flood on through ya.

Repeat Chorus

Yeah bring me to my knees!

Runaway (Vie, Z'Nuff)

Betty's got a problem, and she don't know where to turn.
She's got this big ambition, but she doesn't seem to learn.
She needs some love and affection, she just changes her direction.
She's always had it easy but she never thought it was.
The boy that she's been pleasin' prays that he's the only one.
So she'll walk the streets of Miami, just to keep her kid and candy.

Gotta runaway, but don't know where to go,
Says she'll run away, that's all been a show,
Gotta Runaway, Does-a Runaway. Runaway, hey!

She talks of being happy as the tears roll down her face.
She swears that she'll be laughing when she finds a better place.
'Til then it's paper roses, as her bank account, she closes.

Revolution (Lennon, McCartney)

You say you want a revolution, well you know,
We all want to change the world.
You tell me 'bout an evolution, well you know,
We all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
Well, don't you know that you can count me out.
Don't you know it's gonna be...

All right
All right
All right

You say you got a real solution, well you know,
We'd all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution, well you know,
We're all doin' what we can.
But if you want money for people with minds that hate,
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait.
Don't you know it's gonna be...

Repeat Chorus

You say you'll change the constitution, well you know,
We all want to change your head.
You tell me it's the institution, well you know,
You better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow.
Don't you know it's gonna be...

Save Me (Vie, Z'Nuff)
Help!
Time don't give us time, now,
And love don't give us love, now.
Our peace has fallen to pieces,
And nothing can release us.
I feel I want my mother,
But I've just got my brother.
But he's no brother of mine,
He's stealing all my sunshine.

Save,
I've got to save my life.
I've got to save,
Save my life.

My movie's got a soundtrack,
But only in my phone jack.
And no one's gonna see it,
It's just my luck I'd be in it.
I'm looking in the mirror,
And things are looking clearer.
I'm throwing it away now.
I'm blowing every day now.

Repeat Chorus.

I'm feeling empty-hearted.
I miss my dear departed,
And hope don't bring me hope, now,
But the dope still brings me dope.

No Place To Go (Vie, Z'Nuff)

I always spend my money, sum of money never grows.
I keep a rolled-up twenty for God of Heaven though.
I haven't been with my honey for nearly two months in a row.
See the day, nice and sunny and I've got no place to go.

I was the prize-less fighter, so I stayed out of the ring.
I got a cigarette lighter for every time you hear me sing.
I couldn't tense up tighter, but I can't let nothing show.
I'm a horse-less rider and I've got no place to go.

In only fifteen minutes I can wreck my freaking life.
I've got no choice in something so I try to love the strife.
Seems that nothing excites me so I've got nothing to show,
And then no one invites me and I've got no place to go.

I've got no place to go. (4 X)
